    Featured Best Places to Buy Liquid Chlorine - Reboot!!

    If you’re in the Midwest, Farm & Fleet has 4 pack gallon jugs of 12.5% for $16.99 $4.25/gallon is a pretty good deal. But, once they run out I don’t think they stock out for the remainder of the season. *should have include the states for Farm & Fleet Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin

    Pool Math error message

    Thanks for the quick response! And YES, it’s saving the data again. I was just about to respond “well, it’s working now.” I’m gonna be watching the pool chems all day and will have the app running. Do you want me to repost if/when it happens again?

    Pool Math error message

    I’m using version 510 of the app on an iPhone iOS 18.4.1 I renewed my subscription yesterday—App was working fine. Today, I went to log test results, entered the numbers, hit “done”. But when I hit the ✔️ in the upper right corner, I get this error message I “tried again in a bit” but got the...

    Looking for “deck drain cover” material

    Hi all- I’m not sure if the title of this thread is the correct term for what I’m looking form, but it’s my best guess! The pictures do a better job. This plastic material is 2” wide and appears to have originally come in 10’ lengths. It covers a drainage channel in the pool deck. We had a...

    Robot use for spring opening

    He’s off and running! So far so good. As I mentioned above, there’s not much debris on the bottom this year. The robot clouds the water a little bit, but mostly when the impeller outlet blasts an area with the flow.

    Robot use for spring opening

    That’s another question I should have asked Margret from Marina Pools! I imagine it does based on the literature. Thanks for the response. I’ll give it a go once it gets here. (with this robot, I’m becoming less and less useful to my family!! LOL)

    Robot use for spring opening

    Our new Warrior SE will arrive during the upcoming week and I have an initial question for current robot users: do you use your robot to vacuum the pool for the first time right after spring open? Or, do you still hook up the hose & vac head and vacuum the bottom to waste? Currently, our water...

    AutoPilot salt question

    I think I know the answer to my question, but I want to check here with the experts first. I have a PoolPilot Digital SC-48 that's giving me an error message to add salt. It's reading only around 800 ppm. I used Aquachek salt test strips and they show the level at around 3500-4000. Based on...

    Back from vacation: pool disaster

    Quick update: the pool lost 9 ppm overnight (about 45% of the FC) the foam is gone and the water is getting pretty clear. CC's are down to .5 and the FC is at 8ppm. I am currently dissolving the first 5 pounds of cya to see where that gets me. I'd like to know what caused the cya to drop to...

    Back from vacation: pool disaster

    Just got back after 10 days to find what every pool owner hopes to never see: cloudy, green mess. There are several issues going on. First...the pump has developed a leak to where it's losing probably a couple inches (or more) per day--it's hard to say for sure because it's been raining...
